The Sixth Annual Convention returned to the West, but only to the Rocky Mountains where the Denver Area Council was host. In Hotel Albany, September 47, the events held to the pattern of the past several years: every convention seemed to be better, and everyone marveled that such was possible.

Leo V. Tepley, M.D., psychiatrist, addressed the luncheon to ask everyone to understand that homosexuals were people. Hal Lawson of Detroit introduced the afternoon panelists who spoke on "New Frontiers in Acceptance of the Homophile." Robert Hamilton, Ph.D., professor of education, San Francisco State College, opened the discussion, followed by Hon. Robert E. Allen, majority floor leader, House of Representatives, Colorado Legislature, and William F. Reynard, Denver attorney and member of the Board, Colorado branch, American Civil Liberties Union. Highlight of this program was the Sixth Annual Awards Banquet, at which Omer C. Stewart, Ph.D., professor of anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder, presented a fascinating paper on "Homosexuality Among American Indians and Other Aboriginal Peoples." Like many another address delivered at previous Mattachine Conventions, it was reprinted in nationally-circulated sex education journals. At the Awards Banquet, five honorary memberships were presented: James Kepner, Dorr Legg and Don Slater, all of One, Inc., Los Angeles were named along with Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, of Daughters of Bilitis, San Fran cisco. Mrs. Leah Gaily of San Francisco was chosen Member of the Year. Merit awards were announced for Robert Veit Sherwin, New York, attorney and president of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex; the Homosexual Law Reform Society of London; Grove Press of New York, and Radio Station KPFA-FM (Pacifica Foundation) of Berkeley, Calif.
